The Mahabharata is at once an archive and a living text, a
sourcebook complete by itself and an open text perennially under
construction. Driving home this striking contemporary relevance of
the famous Indian epic, Mahabharata Now focuses on the issues of
narration, aesthetics and ethics, as also their interlinkages. The
cross-disciplinary essays in the volume imaginatively re-interpret
the 'timeless' classic in the light of the pre-modern Indian
narrative styles, poetics, aesthetic codes, and moral puzzles; the
Western theories on modern ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics,
psychoanalysis, and philosophy of science; and the contemporary
social, ethical and political concerns. The essays are all united
in their effort to situate the Mahabharata in the context of here
and now without violating the sanctity of the 'written text' as we
have it today. The book will be of interest to scholars and
students of Indian and comparative philosophy, Indian and
comparative literature, cultural studies, and history.
